 |
|
Hi,
I've just learned of LaTeX and tried to install LaTeX for emacs.
After doing a:
I think the package i'm looking for is dev-texlive/texlive-latex.
This was hard masked, so i unmasked it and got it installed. With no problems.
Next (i think) i need app-emacs/auctex (i think u can get latex previews in emacs which is what i want).
So an: emerge app-emacs/auctex -p gives me:
| Code: |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] net-libs/libwww-5.4.0-r7 USE="ssl -mysql"
[ebuild N ] app-text/texlive-core-2007 USE="X -doc"
[ebuild N ] dev-texlive/texlive-latexrecommended-2007 USE="-doc"
[ebuild N ] app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r4 USE="X Xaw3d -doc -lesstif -motif -neX
[ebuild N ] virtual/latex-base-1.0
[ebuild N ] app-emacs/auctex-11.84-r1 USE="-preview-latex"
[blocks B ] app-text/tetex (is blocking app-text/texlive-core-2007)
|
Then i did
| Code: |
emerge --unmerge app-text/tetex; emerge app-emacs/auctex
--- Couldn't find 'app-text/tetex' to unmerge.
>>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.use: #
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: #
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! Error: the app-text/tetex package conflicts with another package;
!!! the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together.
!!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.
For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked
|
Is it just cos there packages are hard masked?
Is is possible to get LaTeX + emacs (or vi (thinking of learning this)) working on gentoo?
What have i missed?
how can it get it all working together?
Cheers |

While texlive is the newer distribution of LaTeX, Gentoo is still stuck with tetex (which is no longer maintained but still works of course) because the transition is not so easy (I think). So uninstalling texlive and installing tetex etc. will probably solve your problem.

Yup, all the texlive ebuilds are very new and are even still without keywords for any architecture. tetex is enough for a beginner of latex. While using tetex, texlive will be tested and you can install that in some time. btw. you need the preview-latex useflag for auctex to get the previews.
PS: vi is evil.  (no flame war starting point intended)

points to a problem in your package.{use|keywords} files. Try to solve this first.
Then try to do a
| Code: |
emerge --unmerge tetex
|
(without app-text/) and see if this works. Afterwards proceed with emerging auctex.

Cheers
I unmerge texlive and emerge tetex and auctex and all went well.
I didn't use the preview-latex flag tho 
Will have to do a re-emerge.
Haven't configured emacs to activate latex either as described in the auctex info pages.
I'm away from my gentoo box for 2 weeks now tho

I think this is because i tried to put some comments in these files starting the line with '#' and it doesn't like this.
